More Strong Than Time by Victor Hugo

("Puisque j'ai mis ma lèvre
à ta coupe.")

[XXV., Jan. 1, 1835.]

Since I have set my lips to your full cup, my sweet,
Since I my pallid face between your hands have laid,
Since I have known your soul, and all the bloom of
it,
And all the perfume rare, now buried in the shade;

Since it was given to me to hear one happy while,
The words wherein your heart spoke all its
mysteries,
Since I have seen you weep, and since I have seen
you smile,
Your lips upon my lips, and your gaze upon my eyes;

Since I have known upon my forehead glance and
gleam,
A ray, a single ray, of your star, veiled always,
Since I have felt the fall upon my lifetime's
stream,
Of one rose-petal plucked from the roses of your
days;

I now am bold to say to the swift-changing hours,
Pass—pass upon your way, for I grow never old.
Flee to the dark abysm with all your fading flowers,
One rose that none may pluck, within my heart I
hold.

Your flying wings may smite, but they can never
spill
The cup fulfilled of love, from which my lips are
wet.
My heart has far more fire than you have frost to
chill,
My soul more love than you can make my love forget.
